I'd like to humbly cast my opinion against such a measure. I'm the first one to admit that I'm running out of decent expansion opportunities, but that makes the competition more intense (and fun). Otherwise it's just ordering more planes and creating more routes to more cities.

Now, if we could expand the number of allowed hubs, I'd be all for that.

Amex canceled my account due to inactivity. I have a buttload of Marriott points but it takes six weeks to transfer.

Why not just have the wife buy the miles and put them into your account?

THought about it, but she *gasp* doesn't have a OnePass account (yet).

In any event, I believe the situation is taken care of thanks to sbm12. ^

Should be interesting.

Riding a scooter in Indonesia was, um, interesting. I was much more comfortable driving a car, which also was interesting. I think BDA should be a bit more tame, however.

That only takes about three minutes to fix thanks to the interwebz.

I'm thinking about renting a scooter for a day in Thailand (outside of BKK and HKT, of course) - seems like it would be an interesting experience!

Riding a scooter in BDA is extremely tame as long as you are comfortable with roundabouts and driving on the left side of the road. Most of them are restricted to (IIRC) about 40 mph and the speed limit on the entire island is 35kph.

sbm12 - taking the scooter out to the roads around the airport and (trying) the race the planes is especially fun! :D

See, I looked for that but never found it. Good to know.

Yeah, next time I'm able to book a CO flight with her she will certainly have one.

Dunno. My lawyer is on vacation. I'm out of town most of next week, so probably next Friday. Actually, it has to be next Friday because our lease runs out on April 30th, so we have to move next weekend.

So, uhm, what's everyone in the Box doing next weekend? :D

As far as HD becoming my best friend, that started a while ago. I spent 3 hours at Lowes last night. :mad::mad::rolleyes:
